Families with students enrolling in kindergarten through grade 12 may apply for financial aid. You must apply for financial aid each year to be eligible. You can begin your application now - the deadline to submit applications and supporting documentation for the 2025-2026 school year is Monday, January 13, 2025.

We review each family’s financial situation and expect that family resources will be used to the maximum extent possible. The maximum per student aid awarded for Lower School students is capped at 50%. Financial aid is based on demonstrated need and varies by family.

We partner with School and Student Services (SSS) in our financial aid process. To begin your financial aid application, you will complete the SSS Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS).

Financial Aid FAQs

Need additional assistance? Here are some helpful resources in preparing your application.

Who is eligible to apply?

Families with students enrolling in kindergarten through grade 12 may apply for financial aid.

How is aid determined?

We review each family’s PFS and financial circumstances and generally expect that family resources will be used to the maximum extent possible. Brownell Talbot's need-based financial aid varies by family and is limited based on funds available, but assistance is generally in the range of 10 to 35% of tuition.

How do I find out if my child received an award?

Those who apply for financial aid will be notified in writing of a decision in February.

My student is currently receiving financial aid. Do I need to apply again?

Yes. All families must apply for financial aid every year.

What if I do not complete the application or upload the supporting documents by the deadline?

Students will not be considered for financial aid until the online PFS application is completed, the application fee is paid, and all required supporting documentation has been uploaded. Families who do not complete the application by the deadline risk not receiving financial aid as our funding allocations are made in February.
